A-lone in the cockpit I look at the stars.
Dm C C (slow)
I drink, and I think of my home. (And he thinks of his home) (My home...)
Verse 3:
Our thrusters are the hottest that you've every felt.
They might just unbuckle your asteroid belt.
We're honing our moonwalking skills as we speak.
We'll dance on Uranus by this time next week.
